David Sessions at the chained-to-Newsweek’s-rotting-corpse Daily Beast is all over this story today! He notes in passing that D’Souza was making a cool million dollars a year to be president of The King’s College. This is a Christian college whose “campus” was three floors of the Empire State Building up until this year, when it moved into a new building in the Financial District. It has 21 full-time faculty members, and, depending on which part of its Wikipedia entry you believe, it has either around 250 students or “more than 400.”

So: pretty small school! And yet million-dollar salary! We’re sure he really works hard to earn it though, because he’s a conservative not a liberal whiner and a maker not a taker oh wait what’s that you say David Sessions at the Daily Beast?

According to several sources at the college, members of the King’s faculty and board alike had grown hostile to D’Souza’s presidency over what they saw as a failure to earn his reported million-dollar salary. D’Souza has spent much of the past few months promoting his documentary, 2016: Obama’s America, and his high profile in the media was seen as rarely benefitting the college. It may even have been seen as a detriment: According to a former staffer familiar with the college’s public relations, King’s employees have been explicitly tasked with disentangling D’Souza’s extracurricular activities from the college’s reputation. D’Souza became a non-presence on the college’s official Facebook page throughout 2012, which staffers say was no coincidence.

Josh was born and raised in Buffalo, New York, leaving him with a love of chicken wings and a tendency to say “pop”. He taught ancient Greek and Roman history to undergraduates before fleeing from academia in terror; worked for a failed San Francisco dot-com that neglected to supply him with stock options or an Aeron chair; lived in Berlin, where he mostly ate Indian and Ethiopian food; finished in third place on his sole Jeopardy! appearance (the correct answer was “Golda Meir”); and was named 2007 Blogger of the Year by The Week, for obvious reasons.
Josh is the creator/editor of COMICS CURMUDGEON (which you should read) and does geeky editing and writing about geeky things such as "the Java programming industry for JavaWorld." He lives in Baltimore with his wife Amber and his cat Hoagie.

You refer to the Bathsheba business, I assume. But let's not forget his youthful "affections" for Jonathan!

doloras

"I said passing the love of women, not 'better' than! Jonathan and I were never fags! Not even once! You know who was a fag? King James of England was a fag and so were the people who made his bible translation!"

But seriously, King David is the excuse that all these prominent Christianist philanderers use for their hypocrisy. "God might spank me a little bit, but I can still rule, and even keep the hot piece! Look at King David!"

prommie

Its our burden to bear.

His children?

And really you know, lust ain't shit on the sin list compared to pride and greed, so quit judging me!

So he's more of a shower than a grower?

WhatTheHeck

a couple of things god likes in people are money and power. Money can cover a multitude od sins.

The difficult thing about being a college president is that there's such an easy metric for determining how good a job you're doing: the amount of tax-deductible rich-people $$$ you can bring in without whoring out the institution entirely to those who want their names on buildings, "endowed chairs*," the entire business school, etc.

Oh, also the Larry Summers Rule: don't say women are inherently dumber than men because they don't major in chemical engineering.

So today I found out that you can actually get Obama 2016 for $4 on demand with Time Warner Cable. I had just woken up and was turning on the TV to check the weather. This man made my morning much less enjoyable.

Dinesh says they’re not having an affair and he and his wife have been separated for two years and he didn’t even share a hotel room with her and now you made them “suspend” their engagement, you big meanies

Translation: Denise woke the fuck up, asked herself "WTF am I doing with this creep?" and dumped his sorry ass…

Or, hubby was blindered the whole time until the latest news reports came out and he said "WHAT?!?!?!?!"

Yeah, he has some things to go through. . . like being fitted for a cilice, and maybe an iron maiden.

(I was in Hanover in the early 80s, and was sick of Dinesh's act even then. There's no schadenfreude like old schadenfreude.)

Geminisunmars

Schadenfreude is best served cold.

BadKitty904

Anyone who uses the word "cilice" in a sentence is OK by me. *applauds*

GeorgiaMike

I met him in '82 at a college journalism conference at Hollins College and I remember asking him, "What's with all this right wing stuff?" I was still naive enough to think college journalists shouldn't be fascists. His answer at the time was, "I'm not that political, but being conservative is the quickest way to get ahead." Damn, I surely do wish I had taped that.

krazyvladimir

Perhaps you misheard him…. he was trying to say: "…. best way of getting a head …. from Ann Coulter look alikes….."

In keeping with the college’s dress code, the students wear business suits.

And to think I made the mistake of going to a college where you could score for acid or grass, attend a Grateful Dead concert, and get laid–all while wearing an Army surplus fatigue jacket.

It was a long time ago, okay?

Geminisunmars

And now we are successful Wonketeer commentors. (At least we have fulfilling work, right?)

bikerlaureate

I learned about Hobo Beans here.

No more newspaper-coleslaw for me!

Tundra Grifter

Well, I was really never that into the Dead. And the jacket was one my cousin wore in 'Nam. I turned down my invitation to that dance.

The rest of it rings pretty true…

Lot_49

Not a Deadhead myself, but they played in the student union–it was that long ago.

Tundra Grifter

Certainly worth going to see if you got a chance. Did the SU serve breakfast after the show?

When I was at the University of Miami (not Miami University) Sam & Dave came for a concert. It rained (quelle surprise in Southern Florida) and they moved it indoors.

After they were done they were told "as many people as there were here to see you are waiting outside in rain because they couldn't get in."

Sam & Dave said "OK – we'll just do it again." And they did. They were carried out after the second show. Not James Brown-style – they were exhausted.

sullivanst

And here was I thinking Oxford and Cambridge were the world's snobbiest universities (I have four years of first-hand experience), but neither is remotely pretentious enough to require business suits in class.

Needless to say, both place shall we say somewhat higher in QS' world rankings.

MissTaken

I assume the picture of the 5 books is the Kings College Library of Book Learning.

OK, a phone book is a book where they printed the numbers of everyone who…Huh?

OK, a book is something you used to hold in your hands and read.

MissTaken

Um:

Oakes tells me he’s glad to meet me, though he assumes we will disagree politically. “I love talking to people with whom I disagree,” he says. “My new thing is talking to the Muslims, the ones who drive the taxicabs.”

What shocks me is the abhorrent judgement they lay (pun intended) on others who are going through the same difficult times in their own lives…and THEN the core immorality of carrying in the process of ending not being umarried!

prommie

Judge not, lest ye be judged and all that, pip pip, what ho?

prommie

Do you suppose this means God has a mighty future for us? We've already been through some things, so thats out of the way!

FakaktaSouth

As we have never been ones to judge anybody unless they really deserve it, I'm saying we get credit for time served and a mighty future it is. As for God, She has a sense of humor, no? I'm sure we'll do fine.

This is the same sentiment they always use when one of their Christianist authority figures gets caught dipping his wick outside the bounds of marriage/vagina. God has a mighty future for Mark Sanford, Ted Haggard…

SorosBot

Well Mark Sanford has a big future in making racist "spear throwing" comments about our President.

Is that a still from "Dinesh D'Souza's Million Dollar Pussy Hunt" on the Discover Channel? He seems to have caught a good whiff.

natl_[redacted]_cmdr

(We put “resign” in quotes because “he” “made” the decision after the school’s board of trustees met for like two days straight, presumably deciding the wording of the resignation statement “he” would write.)

totally necessary quotes.

Schmannnity

He must be a helluva president for each of 250 students to have to pay a $4,000.00 presidential surtax.

HempDogbane

I hope he gets better at this "documentary" stuff now that he has some good material.

When Rafalca didn't bring home olympic gold, he was put on the market. Correction, he was put in the market and you can find him on aisle 6 in the dogfood section.

Ugliest little man in a rowboat ever. Insensitive, too.

BadKitty904

Per him, you'd think he'd be able to walk on that water…

Antispandex

Huh. So, this is the type of fellow you go to when you want to know the real facts about the President of the United States? Interesting. Well, you know, once again the "christian right" appears to be neither christian, nor right. However, I am sure he is as fine a gentleman as his fellow conservative christians. There should be some comfort in that.

BadKitty904

Steaming heaps 'o "comfort," I'm sure…

Tundra Grifter

That's a classic Wonkette photo right there!

He's up a creek.

And, yes, without a paddle.

BadKitty904

Isn't there s'posed to be a tiger in that boat, too?

YES, it's D'inest D'philip D'Souza in "The Life of Poo"!

Life of Poo! Loves it.

Pi libel!

"God has a mighty future in store for Dinesh, but there are some things he has to go through first."

I learned years ago that when a man is intent on "F-ing" himself in the "A" with his own, to borrow from rickmaci, "d'ick", it's best not to interfere with him because it could get messy, y'know…

Will Denise become D'enise D'Souza?

Dashboard Buddha

I have a dream…not like MLK's dream of little black children, little white children, content of character etc. No, I have a dream where conservatives, and especially religious conservatives, take responsibility for their fucking actions!

Dashboard Buddha

"God has a mighty future for…"

Yeah, a future giving the rest of us grand mal mockgasms.

glamourdammerung

Read the story on Yahoo just to see all the Republicans whining about how this is President Obama's fault.

Brother Jed is associated with this! Brother Jed Smock! I fucking love that man! He was a fucking hoot and I ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS would go watch his harangues just cause I loved to be called a "fornicator" in that special way with the last syllable stretched out to 3 or 4 syllables!

Negropolis

How do you say "pawned" in Swahili, BTW?

kppontrucking

If they get married, Denise will be D'Mistress of the House.

phillipmarlowe2terry

So, she graduated from John Carroll High School, Bel Air MD in 2002. That's atleast 20 years younger than Distort D'Newsa. Does that make him a (black) panther?

ttommyunger

Not to worry, Fox has a huge Fired Fuckwad Budget.

Humberto_Echo

I'd love to crack wise about Dinesh, but my hate for him resides on a subatomic level. To do so would risk the fate of the universe.

decentcitizen

Guys like these fall upward. He'll land on some bogus think tank or become a "commentator". That's why there's no God (or she isn't paying attention).

"Blogette" that's like what a Frenchman eats for lunch when he's on a diet, right?

DahBoner

The French know you can't get fat eating pussy…

AznMom420

No no no, he said "God has a mighty future for DINNER" Big plans, fatted calf, the whole nine yards.

DahBoner

some things he has to go through first

Like hookers and crack, amirite?

Late addition to the Beast story reports his salary wasn't nearly that high:

"Editor's Note: This story originally reported that D'Souza's salary was rumored to be $1 million. According to the most recent IRS filings by The King's College, D'Souza received $194,638 in reportable compensation between August 16, 2010 and Aug. 31, 2011, and an estimated additional compensation of $6,886. The reference to the rumored salary has been removed."

larrykat

As if God would like somebody named Dinesh. Do they think we are stupid or what?

vtxmcrider

I did not get to see his masterpiece 2016: Obama's America. But I am truly enjoying 2012: Dinesh's Fuck-Up. It is a movie all about Schadenfreude.

vtxmcrider

I mean, how the fuck could she have resisted? Dinesh is almost as dick-throbbingly handsome as Piyush Jindal.
